Art Vandelay 14 Report post Posted December 6 Watched Hearts Beat Loud (2018) the other night with Kiersey Clemons and Nick Offerman. What a lovely wee film. I'd had a particularly crap day and this really lifted my spirits. It's about a father and daughter who start a band together essentially and watching it just made me feel really fucking happy. Highly recommended. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7158430/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He actually is called Armand Hammer and he is the heir to the baking/soda toothpaste company fortune. Another working class kid managing to get his foot in the door in Hollywood despite all his disadvantages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant and dangerous in ways that action films are just meant to be anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His grandfather of the same name tried to buy the company that owned Arm and Hammer after years of being asked if he was the man behind them but wasn't successful. His company did purchase enough stock to get gramps a seat on the board of directors though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devon Malcolm 2,250 Report post Posted December 7 The Old Man and the Gun is delightful. Great note for Robert Redford to retire on, a lovely little crime flick, and Tom Waits is ace yet again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Houchen 4,405 Report post Posted December 9 You Were Never Really Here - Incredibly unsettling and violent without seeing much violence and Joaquin Phoenix is excellent. Lynne Ramsay is such a brilliant filmmaker, she creates worlds that make you feel unclean. Imagine what she could do with a Bond film? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColinBollocks 468 Report post Posted December 9 (edited) It's still my film of the year. Greenwood's scores for the film and/or Phantom Thread deserve all the awards. I haven't watched the film back because I found it to be so upsetting at the cinema. Anyway, I watched Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse yesterday. To reduce it, it's basically a less funny version of Lego Batman with more serious and less gags. It's good fun, though. Getting it right with the balance of frivolous and serious so both can find space without hampering the story. I'm sure you dorks that read the comics will get more out of it than us super shaggers.

SuperBacon 590 Report post Posted December 9 Dumplin Wasn’t expecting much from this but it was very good. Jennifer Aniston is an ex beauty pageant queen who is still very involved in the scene and her daughter Willowdean is not the beauty pageant type, who is obsessed with Dolly Parton, something she inherited from her aunt, who she was very close to. That sounds pretty shit, but it’s a very good film, pretty concise, doesn’t outstay it’s welcome and the performances of Aniston (best since A Good Girl probably), Danielle MacDonald, who follows up a great turn in Patticakes with this, and Odeya Rush...good god...Odeya Rush, are excellent. It gets a bit schmaltzy, but really enjoyed that. Oh, and good cameo from Harold Perrineau too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devon Malcolm 2,250 Report post Posted December 10 I don't think I'd even seen a film set in Oakland before this autumn, but in the last couple of months we've had Blindspotting and now Sorry to Bother You. They're both two of the year's best films too. Almost impossible to describe what this is but it works, like Blindspotting does, as a brilliant satire and a smart piece of entertainment. Lakeith Stanfield is such a good actor but Tessa Thompson steals it. Loved this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Factotum 107 Report post Posted December 10 I really hope Lakeith Stanfield goes on to do more and more. He's incredibly watchable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devon Malcolm 2,250 Report post Posted December 10 He was also in The Girl in the Spider's Web recently and was excellent in that in a pretty limited role. Just saw Short Term 12 recently too and he was the best thing in that. He's doing Rian Johnson's next film as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBacon 590 Report post Posted December 10 He’s also great in The Incredible Jessica James, which is excellent, and of course Atlanta. And he’s fucking fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Danger 501 Report post Posted December 10 What a show full of talent Atlanta is. @SuperBaconloves a bit of Netflix YA action. You'll be as happy as my 13 year old daughter that To All the Boys I've Loved Before has had sequels ordered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
